I'm using Mark William's C on a 1 Mb 1040ST. I have all the necessary stuff
in a 650 Kb Rdy ramdisk in the auto folder of a disk. When I boot the disk
this executes and installs my ram disk with all the stuff. In the ram disk
is an auto folder with the Mark William's Micro-Shell which runs and sets up
all my paths and screen attributes, etc. The problem is, after all this my
drive is still twirling around. The drive light has gone out long ago when
the ram disk was done loading, but the drive continues on twirling. What is
the problem? How do I fix it? I notice that if I access the drive in any
way, the drive will do what was asked and then stop like it should, but is
there something the matter that it does this?
